The Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board has announced the closure of its online portal for recruiting primary school teachers.
It received a total of 52,423 applications during the application period.
The portal for recruiting 7,000 primary school teachers was opened on June 25, 2024.
A statement signed by Oyo SUBEB Chairman, Nureni Adeniran, on Thursday, confirmed that the portal was closed following the July 9 deadline.
“We are impressed by this response which shows that people are truly keen and excited to work with the Oyo State Universal Basic Education Board. However, we are compelled to close the portal, as the deadline has passed,” he said.
“We received not less than 52,423 submitted applications within the number of days of opening the portal. That was impressive.
“After shutting the portal, our team has started sorting out the applications to pick the suitably qualified candidates who will be contacted by the Board.”
He advised applicants to be cautious of misinformation regarding the ongoing recruitment process and urged them to regularly check their emails and phones for updates on the next steps.
Adeniran emphasized that after the applications are reviewed, “the next stage will be the CBT examination. The date, venue, and time for each candidate will be communicated via their emails and phone numbers.”
